A free research worksheet for checking AI answers

An AI answer can be a useful first map of a topic. It is not automatically a source.

Use this worksheet when you need to turn a fast answer into something another person can check.

Step 1: split the answer into claims

Copy the answer into a document. Put each factual claim on its own line. Do not check the whole paragraph at once. Small claims are easier to test.

Step 2: add a source column

Next to each claim, record the original link, the page or section, and the date you checked it. Use official documentation for product facts, the relevant authority for rules, and the original paper for research.

Step 3: mark the strength

Step 4: ask the assistant to challenge you

Try: Find claims in these notes that have no source, use a date that may be old, or say more than the source proves. Do not add new facts.

Then open the links yourself. The assistant can help you spot gaps. It cannot verify a page it has not actually seen.

How this fits Emply

This is a strong evidence task for a learning path because the output is visible. A learner can show the claims, sources, and corrections. A reviewer can give feedback on the reasoning instead of guessing from a multiple-choice score.

Download the table by copying it into a document. The method is free, and it works with any AI assistant.
